Free NBA Picks: Celtics vs. Bobcats

Will Boston get their first loss without Rajon Rondo to the Bobcats, or will they continue their improbable run tonight at Time Warner Arena? Find out where we are looking to place our NBA picks tonight.

After
their amazing triple overtime game against the Nuggets last night in Boston,
the Celtics had to hop on a plane and take the long flight down to Charlotte
for tonight’s game. The Celtics come in as -3 ½ favorites with the NBA odds boards offering a total of 193.

Bean town beat down

Paul
Pierce had to play 54 minutes, and had a monster stat line of 27 points, 14
rebounds and 14 assists, and the Celtics squeezed past the Nuggets in triple
OT. Tonight, Boston started as a six-point favorite, but after their triple
overtime win, most of the online sportsbooks compensated by dropping the spread a few points.

Tonight
however, I’m more focused on the total, which sits at an even 193 points.
Charlotte’s defense is the worst in the NBA, giving up over 103 points per
game. Normally they can’t score either, but in Charlotte, the Bobcats score
nearly 97 points per game. With Boston being so tired, and the Cats stinking it
up on defense, I see no reason why this total shouldn’t fly over.

The over
has cashed in four of the last six times these two have met one another in
Charlotte. Plus, even though they are 11-11 on the total this season when
playing on the road, four of Boston’s last five road games have cashed the
over.

The Sharp Pick

I think
we are getting exceptional NBA betting value tonight with 193 points. Boston will be tired
and that will give the Cats a chance to score. In their last two back to backs,
the Celtics have scored over 100 points on the second night of the two games,
and it will happen again tonight.
